    i found the 2fo to be very narrow around the toes so try before you buy

    shimano ME7 (i think) is what i ended up with £67 on crc at the time and same weight and super comfy, very durable, done a few weeks in the alps and used for dh and xc.

    Also used the hutchinson toros on poahs advice last year, they’ve been brilliant, from alps trips to local loops all good in all weathers.

    French company Assur sport do insurance for 49euro for a year.

    +1 don’t get a 20″ they’re generally too big for little uns
    my 11yr old and 9 yr old are both still fine on 18″ bikes, and will be for some time to come, think of how big a 20″ is on an adult then replicate that size for your kid. theyll find it much easier to get to grips with if its the right size, source bmx have some good choices.
    mine have a wtp trust and a kink kicker both pretty impressive for the money.

    Been on that for years. No problems with waking up in the morning or groggyness at all, i still wake occasionally around 0330 though which is a pain. But mine isn’t for sleeping help.

    tried a pair on last week, very light compared to my current 5:10’s and so will be purchasing them as my next trail/dh shoe..
    very comfy and love the boa system.

    strive owner here and its by far the best bike ive ever owned.
    xc rides in the UK, DH in the alps and local jump spots etc it excels in all conditions.
    I’ve had 2 warranty issues both sorted in super quick time with excellent comms from the UK office.
    I’d not hesitate to buy from them again.

    I used Sugru to conform to the shaped bits on my helmet then used the gopro mount surface to create a flat area, I then peeled the backing off the mount and stuck the sticky bit on the sugru..has worked a treat..
